Midwest Aviation took delivery of this HS-748 in July 1969. By the end of 1969, they were taken over by Transair and the aircraft was sold to Gateway Aviation in 1972. When Gateway was bought by Northward Airlines in 1979, the aircraft was sold to Calm Air. Operated from 1979 - 2002, the aircraft was, at least for a time, the longest serving 748 in Canada. Stored at Thompson, MB, it was scrapped in 2007.

Originally built for Midwest Aviation, but here painted yellow and brown in Transair livery after merger. For a full history, see Photo ID: 67411.

Built in 1968 for Midwest Aviation of Winnipeg and at this time was with Calm Air who were a Canadian Airlines partner and so adopted their markings. Cancelled in 2007 having previously been scrapped.

Delivered to Midwest Aviation July 17, 1969 as CF-MAK. Sold after the airline was merged with Transair as they already had YS-11s in their fleet. Bought by Gateway Aviation in April 1972, this airline was bought by Northward Airlines in 1979 and the aircraft again sold. Bought by Calm Air International , the rugged airliner remained with them, save for a short lease to Air Creebec (October 1989-March 1990), until withdrawn in November 2002 and stored at Thompson. MB. It was used for parts and gradually broken up with the registration cancelled in December 2007 and re-used on an ATR-42.
